Native Jovian Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 I don't think it's down (or at least not entirely), it's just flaking out. I was messing with my loadouts and sometimes they wouldn't load, while others they would just take a while to show up. Apparently, suddenly having four times as much data to track didn't agree with it.
Dr. Suredeath Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Same with me, hopefully this is just Valve server being overloaded... I can't change any of my loadout once I get into a server, it's just laggged real bad or something.
Powerlord Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Can we set tf_allow_taunt_switch to 1 or 2? There aren't really any plans to change it at this time. One thing that we have changed is the icon hiding thing. Also, Valve has said they plan on pushing a TF2 client update out to fix the crashing problems.

Also, Valve has said they plan on pushing a TF2 client update out to fix the crashing problems. You either allow taunt-switching for amusing weapon-taunting shenanigans or you don't. Unless I'm missing something, this is hardly a setting that strikes me as requiring "plans" to change.
bark Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Also, Valve has said they plan on pushing a TF2 client update out to fix the crashing problems. Update has dropped
Native Jovian Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Tauntswitching is fun. It made me sad when I couldn't do it anymore. Is there any reason not to allow it? Also, inventory has been behaving since the update. Huzzah!
Necro Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Since the game now supports custom decals it may be wise to update the MOTD to include the no porn rule on custom textures.
ParanoidDrone Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Since the game now supports custom decals it may be wise to update the MOTD to include the no porn rule on custom textures. This is probably a good idea.
Kenogu Labz Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Eep, yeah. Valve has probably opened the troll's nest with this; I foresee a sudden booming of phallic weaponry.
Powerlord Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Since the game now supports custom decals it may be wise to update the MOTD to include the no porn rule on custom textures. Done. 10char
Cinderwild Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Eep, yeah. Valve has probably opened the troll's nest with this; I foresee a sudden booming of phallic weaponry. Joke's on them, they have to spend $5 every time they want to re-customize their dick weaponry.
Kenogu Labz Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 Sooo they opened the troll's nest and posted toll booths at the newly-formed entrance? Maybe we should have a pyro troll-checking at the door...
Kiyobi Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 In case you guys didn't notice, most of the TF2 beta changes that were being tested but not mentioned in the update notes got passed through, as well. The only one that didn't get passed (to my knowledge) was the Flamethrower damage changes. The Widowmaker is now f***ing amazing.
Lyrai Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 If anyone stumbles across a Series 30 crate and doesn't plan to open it, I'm looking for a few to jam these keys into. Strange Gunslinger woo woo. Also I spent an hour and a half on the loadout presets trying to get the perfect setups. Most of this was spent on hat/misc combos.
Native Jovian Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 I must be the only one who doesn't have that many hats/miscs. I have exactly three non-event/achievement hats (one of which I had to trade for) and no misc items. Anyway, I wanted to ask: what servers do people play on when the OCR ones are empty? It seems like every time I want to play recently, there's no one on the OCR servers, and I could use a good place to hang out when that's the case.
phill Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 If OCR servers are empty and I can't join someone on my friends list, I find myself a nice pub server and whore it up.

Great Lakes or Midwest.

I invade the CK noob server from time to time, because it's hilarious.
ParanoidDrone Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 I usually take advantage of quickplay, although it's had a distressing tendency to send me to empty servers lately. And several times it sent me to a server with 3 bots per team and no one else. (Protip: Valve servers all have the "valve" tag on them in the server browser. Filter by that and "has users playing" for some easy-yet-infuriating rounds courtesy of teammates with the collective intelligence of a brick.) Then there's the whole lolinternet thing where my ping soars into the 900 range and makes powerpoint look fast by comparison.
Top Gun Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 CK's server was where I started out, and I'll still drop by there every once in a while when OCR is empty. What's frustrated me about them for a long time was that they had no auto-scramble, which often led to things getting stack-happy and your team of mostly noobs getting rolled repeatedly. Incredibly frustrating. They seemed to have auto-scramble on the last time I stopped by, which makes things so much better. They also finally had all talk on, too; it's amazing how much more easy-going that makes most games. There are one or two other random servers I've had in my favorites pretty much since I started playing: Nemu's Battleground is one, and FFN Back to Basics is another. I think both of those are 32-player, so I don't go there much.
Kiyobi Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 You can find me on a 24/7 Badwater server. Usually TF2Newbs. It's the only map.
Lyrai Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 Unboxed some S31 crates, got all but Strange Degreaser & an extra set of fists. Anyone know if Frogg needs fists?

The Derrit Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 does anyone have any of the new sniper rifles i could use some
